LAKEWOOD — A Toms River man faces a hindering apprehension charge after allegedly giving police a false name during a traffic stop that uncovered three outstanding warrants, authorities said.
An officer pulled over a vehicle near Prospect and Williams streets around 9:24 p.m. Nov. 10 after determining its registration was suspended, according to Lakewood police.
The driver told the officer he did not have his identification and supplied a name and birth date. A records search revealed three active warrants associated with that identity, prompting his arrest, police said.
Officers subsequently identified the driver as Kore James, 33. Investigators determined the name he supplied was an alias he previously used and confirmed that the warrants were issued for him, police said.
James was charged by summons with hindering apprehension for allegedly supplying false identifying information.
The charge is an accusation, and James is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
